We'll have to wait a little longer to see the 10th test flight of SpaceX's Starship megarocket.

SpaceX planned to launch Starship Flight 10 from its Starbase site in South Texas this evening (Aug. 24), during an hourlong stretch that began at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT). But just 17 minutes before that window opened, the company called things off.

"Standing down from today's tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," SpaceX announced at 7:13 p.m. EDT (2313 GMT) on Sunday in a post on X, the social media site owned by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk. The company did not immediately announce a new target date for Flight 10, but does have backup days available through at least Aug. 26.
